Walt took off his clothes before cooking because he wanted to keep out the smell, to keep his two lives separate. White."

It's sort of hilarious that by the end of the episode, Jesse is still calling Walt "Mr. Walt blackmailed Jesse into becoming his partner, but Jesse still kept seeing Walt as his teacher. He's smart enough to make money cooking, but stupid enough to have a vanity plate announcing who he is. In his introductory scene, he lucked out of being caught in the drug bust, but fell off a roof.

And then he committed the ultimate sin - he got sick, and his life turned to shit. High school teacher, good husband and father, a home in the suburbs. For his entire life, he played by the rules of the so-called American Dream.
Walt's life indeed changes drastically in the course of this pilot. Chemistry, Walter White tells his students, is the study of change, of growth, decay and transformation.
